Yes. Alex had a victory. A stunning come from behind victory. Say that again. A stunning come from behind victory. And I got last.
00:01:49
Speaker
Sure did. Each time. Yeah, it takes skill. You double guttered two frames in a row. You called them. You had some type of juju. No, he guttered five attempts in a row.

Award for Worst Movie of 2025
00:02:30
Speaker
All right. um On top of the awards that we're going to be presenting tonight, we are also going to talk about our personal top tens of 2025. Are we late to the game? i don't know.
00:02:41
Speaker
We tried to catch up on some. I maybe saw four movies. Yeah. Out of like the 20 that I feel like I needed to catch up on. It's okay. Me too.
00:02:52
Speaker
All right. But i'm I'm excited to see the results of our Framies. Are you guys ready? Ready. All right. I'm ready. I'll go start off with our first category in the first annual Lost in the Frame award show.
00:03:06
Speaker
The War of the Worlds award for the worst movie of 2025 goes to... goes to
00:03:17
Speaker
War of the Worlds. Let's go. Congratulations, Ice Cube. Ice Cube, you live in our league. This is a big win for Amazon Studios. It was their first nomination and first win at the Framies.
00:03:33
Speaker
You need to do that for every single one. That would get really old. I think that would be perfect. um War of the Worlds, what can we say? Not much.
00:03:46
Speaker
It's that bad. It is really that bad. It's legendarily bad. It's not at the bottom of my ranked list, though. That's nuts.
00:03:58
Speaker
Is it the bottom of your guys' list? Like the last one? Yes. Something else is, but it's because I haven't seen World of the Worlds. Oh, my God. I know. I'm sorry. I really wanted to watch it. In true awards show tradition, a third of the voting base hasn't seen the movie.
00:04:14
Speaker
and So I guess we're on on brand. Yeah. and All right. Congratulations, the War of the Worlds. Next category is, at least it wasn't War of the Worlds for the worst movie that wasn't War of the Worlds.
00:04:28
Speaker
Nominees are East of Wall, Opus, and a Minecraft movie. And the winner is...
00:04:40
Speaker
a Minecraft movie.
Best Original Score and Mid-Movie Awards
00:04:42
Speaker
You are the worst movie that wasn't War Worlds. Truly bad stuff going on here in this movie. East of Wall snubbed. That's all I'm going say. Spoiler alert, Minecraft movie is lower than War of the Worlds for me on my list.
00:04:59
Speaker
Because I would re-watch War of the Worlds in the right setting. I would re-watch Minecraft movie. I would re-watch both of them in the right setting. I feel like I'm more inclined for War of the Worlds. Like, if we were all hanging out and we wanted to show Tachi War of the Worlds for the first time, I think it'd be a fun time.
00:05:15
Speaker
But if you were like, let's re-watch Minecraft movies, it'd be funny. Okay, but like let's say we're all smoking crack. Okay. And then just cracked up and it's like, we gotta watch a Minecraft movie. Cracked You ever get cracked up with your boys?
00:05:30
Speaker
A lot of people do that. And they live together.
00:05:37
Speaker
I mean, that sounds really interesting. I gotta i gotta look into this. Sounds like a nice community. It does. ah Yeah, I've heard good things. um Our next award is called the It's Not Tron Legacy, But It's Close Award, which is presented for Best Original Score.
00:05:56
Speaker
Many, many great entries, ah but this year the nominees were Begonia, The Smashing Machine, and Marty Supreme.
00:06:08
Speaker
And the framey goes to...
00:06:15
Speaker
The Smashing Machine. It sounds good. It sounds great. It's this weird, like, avant-garde, like, jazzy...
00:06:30
Speaker
i think beauty that was attached to ah largely forgettable movie. Ooh, he went there. But it is the only thing I think about from the movie is the soundtrack.
00:06:44
Speaker
And it's it is a shame that the Smashing Machine didn't get more awards buzz because I think that soundtrack deserved it. And I'll stand by it. Only one nomination, if I recall correctly, right?
00:06:57
Speaker
ah Yeah, hair makeup, right? Well, I agree with you with the soundtrack. i think it's I think it's really good. um Bugonia, also shout out Bugonia. All right.
00:07:09
Speaker
Shout out Marty. And Marty. One day, Daniel, you'll get awards love, but not today. Not with us. The next category is the mid-award for the most mid-movie.
00:07:25
Speaker
The nominees are The Running Man, Materialists, and Companion. And the framey for most mid-movie goes to...
00:07:41
Speaker
companion You're not offensive. You're very safe. Very middle of the ground.
Worst Performance and Memorable Podcast Moments
00:07:50
Speaker
Congratulations, companion. They're so mid they didn't get an applause. Everybody.
00:07:59
Speaker
No one reacted positively. No one reacted negatively. They reacted neutrally. Yeah.
00:08:06
Speaker
This did not change lives in any positive or negative way. It came and went. Such can be said for the other nominees as well.
00:08:18
Speaker
I feel like materialists actually may have harmed people. Especially like short people who couldn't afford the surgery. I think that's kind of where we were, ah where our conversation was in picking some winners for these categories.
00:08:32
Speaker
Materialist was leaning more mid-bad. Running Man was the most competitive against Companion. Let me tell you that much. About as middling as it gets.
00:08:45
Speaker
Next category is the Ice Cube Center for Aspiring Actors Memorial Award for Worst Performance of the Year. yeah Your nominees are Ice Cube and Warren for the War the Year.
00:09:05
Speaker
Jack Black for Minecraft. o And the weekend in Hurry Up Tomorrow. And the framey goes to
00:09:19
Speaker
Jack Black Minecraft.
00:09:25
Speaker
Very homeless, Cor. Come on up, Jack Black. Speaking of crack. Jack cracked. Jack cracked.
00:09:35
Speaker
La la la lava. Chicken jockey. This is really a real bad performance. Yeah. Because it's not really laughable. Ice Cubes is so bad that it's good. It's like the most phoned in thing I've ever seen. Yeah.
00:09:51
Speaker
Jack Black just showed up on the day and just did what Jack Black does. He just jacks all over the place. Yeah, he just keeps jacking.
00:10:03
Speaker
and And who can forget the weekend and hurry up tomorrow? It turns out many people can forget him. Shut up. but Shut up. And I like Hurry Up Tomorrow. More than most people. so I don't know, man.
00:10:21
Speaker
her Hurry Up Tomorrow and what's the Charlie XCX movie? The Moment. The Moment double feature.
00:10:30
Speaker
We'll see. All right. we're going to take a break in the middle of these awards to a take a look back at some of the moments that graced your ears for the last year.
00:10:42
Speaker
Who can forget Alex, myself, talking about Mission Freak Possible during our Mission Impossible episode.
00:10:53
Speaker
I thought they were going to kiss. Who? All of them. oh Every single person on that submarine. Would have instead of Mission Impossible, The Final Reckoning, it was Mission Impossible, the Final Freaking. The
00:11:17
Speaker
times. But...
00:11:27
Speaker
times but Don't let that distract you from the fact that we had an impeccable, impeccable Yoda impression from Tachi during our Star Wars episode.
00:11:45
Speaker
My top three Force users um were Obi-Wan, of course. Nice. He's the GOAT. Mace Windu and Yoda. I like it. i like that a lot.
00:11:57
Speaker
Give us your best Yoda impression.
00:12:13
Speaker
Something just came over me.
00:12:20
Speaker
a beautiful impression it was.
Best Scene and Needle Drop Awards
00:12:22
Speaker
Thank you. Have you gotten better? No.
00:12:27
Speaker
And while recent in our episode, but will stay a long time in your hearts, Malik eloquently talking about Freaky Ab Ben.
00:12:39
Speaker
I will say when when Ben grabbed his wrist and held him down on the bed, it was very freaky. Freaky Ab Ben. Where did he learn that?
00:12:50
Speaker
Ben. I've been watching. Ben.
00:12:59
Speaker
The movie could have turned into something else for sure at that point. Bad talking bad.
00:13:20
Speaker
These were just some of the moments that we were the most proud of. And we wish we could give them all a framey. So we gave none of them one. Oh, I thought we all got one. That's not how it works. Get those guys off the stage.
00:13:36
Speaker
All right, we're getting played off. Next category. Best scene. The nominees for best scene, according to us,
00:13:47
Speaker
Wait, before we say it, well okay we did have parameters for this one. Okay, go ahead. And it was like, our parameters were a like a small moment in a like in time in a movie. So...
00:14:03
Speaker
You know, we all love the the road chase scene in one battle after another. However, that's like five minutes long. We wanted to find the moments, the specific moments that impacted us the most ah in the least amount of time.
00:14:22
Speaker
With that, Malik, I'll let you take it away. The nominees are It Was Just an Accident The Final Scene Wake Up Dead Man The Phone Call and Sinners, The Irish Jig.
00:14:39
Speaker
And the winner of the Framing for Best Scene is...
00:14:47
Speaker
The Phone Call in Wake Up Dead Man.
00:14:53
Speaker
The crowd's going nuts for that one. This was a hard one. This was really hard to pick. This might have been the hardest category. Except for like the next four. Yeah. I think this is when it started to get difficult. But I mean, these are all great scenes, hence why we picked them.
00:15:11
Speaker
And all really good movies. um But the phone call in Wake Up Dead Man, I feel really encapsulated kind of how you wanted to describe why we chose the best scene.
00:15:25
Speaker
my My soul ascended. It did. The breath was taken out of my lungs. Josh O'Connor. Great job, buddy. Thanks, Josh. Now, the next category is best needle drop.
00:15:40
Speaker
And the nominees are everybody wants to rule the world in Marty Supreme, George Harrison's beware of darkness and weapons. And lastly, red pepper dragonfly and no other choice.
00:15:56
Speaker
However, we do have our first honorable mention
00:16:00
Speaker
Katy Perry, Firework, and Eddington. I wish I could play it without getting copyrighted. Really bombastic scene. Truly one for the ages. It really was. Multiple needle drops, actually, when you think about it. Yes.
00:16:14
Speaker
o Yes. And the Framie for best needle drop goes to...
Breakout Role and Unconventional Awards
00:16:24
Speaker
Everybody Wants to Rule the World and Marty Supreme. I like this one. It's a good one. Who picked this one? I like it. It caps off what's otherwise a mid-movie. Just kidding.
00:16:38
Speaker
I'm joking. I'm joking. And the framey for worst host goes to Malik. All good picks here. I think, Tachi, you will enjoy this needle drop and no other choice. I'm really looking forward to it. guys have sold me.
00:16:56
Speaker
Hopefully it's not oversold. I think it's appropriately sold. Okay, good. Fair price. Fair price. We love movies for many things. We love them for soundtracks, scenes. but We also love them for the movie stars.
00:17:14
Speaker
But every movie star had to come from somewhere. Which is why we established the Chase Infinity for Supporting Actress Memorial Award for the biggest breakout role.
00:17:29
Speaker
We... Inducted six members into this honorable circle, but only could select free three for the finalists. um And we did want to highlight the three honorable mentions we had for this category, as we feel that they were deservedly um andt worth of recognition.
00:17:51
Speaker
So the honorable mentions for the Chase Infinity for Supporting Actress Memorial Award for Biggest Breakout Role is Aiden Delbiss for Begonia. Sabia Betiar for Preparation for the Next Life and Chase Infinity for One Battle After Another.
00:18:12
Speaker
she She couldn't be here tonight to help present this Memorial Award for herself, but the finalists for our award goes to Miles Katton for Sinners.
00:18:27
Speaker
Alfie Williams for 28 Years Later, and Miriam Afshari for It Was Just an Accident. And the framey for the Chase Infinity for Supporting Actress Memorial Award for Biggest Breakout Role goes to
00:18:48
Speaker
Alfie Williams for 28 Years Later.
00:18:53
Speaker
That's our boy right there. It's hard to be a leading man as like an 11 year old. Oh yeah. And he pulled it off and to carry and like do a really good job.
00:19:03
Speaker
Yeah. He was great. Like, and he had, he had to do like quite a lot because the movie, like we talked about in our episode about 20 years later, turned into this, uh, just watching him like grow up so quickly in this world.
00:19:19
Speaker
And I think the emotional weight he has to carry with his mom and Great job. Great performance. Truly. Our next category is an interesting category. This Malik's favorite category. This may not be a category you will see in any other award show um worthy of recognition, ours being one of them.
00:19:42
Speaker
This is the best use of hog on screen. I will not detail what goes into being in this category. You can figure it out.
00:19:53
Speaker
But the nominees for the best use of hog on screen, 28 years later, together, warfare, and Minecraft.
00:20:07
Speaker
And the framing, wait, what is Minecraft? I put...

I think I put Minecraft at the end because there's pigs. All right. The framey for best hog goes to...
00:20:27
Speaker
Boon. 28 years later. Sweet.
00:20:34
Speaker
Well deserved. It was no competition. I think that means 28 years later has taken the lead as the movie that has won the most frameies ever, actually.

Speaker
Let's go. Nice. That's huge. That's awesome.

00:22:05
Speaker
i just I felt like we all went into it thinking this was going to be another mid-Steven King adaptation. We all left the thinking it was really good. Yeah. Shout out Thunderbolts as well. With a string of bad runs in the MCU, Thunderbolts was a breath of fresh air.
00:22:20
Speaker
Truly. um Shout out Kinky Region. It's what Weapon Should Have Been. And it it isn't even on distribution in the U.S. yet, I don't think. Alex is the only one in this podcast who has seen Kinky Region. So I don't know anything about that man.

Award Show Recap and Wheel of Truth Teaser
00:23:50
Speaker
17. Ooh.
00:23:53
Speaker
Wow. Mickey 17.
00:23:57
Speaker
I just... Here's the thing. I don't think Mickey 17 is a bad movie. It is not a movie. In fact, pretty watchable, and it's fairly inoffensive. However, for that to be your follow-up to Parasite, arguably the greatest movie of that decade... Ooh.
00:24:17
Speaker
I'm not saying it is. I'm saying it is in the conversation. It's up there. It is. It is in that S tier. Following it up with that is like, what?
00:24:27
Speaker
What are we doing? On paper, this should have been a heater. For sure. And I don't know what happened. Had all the bones. It had all the bones. Bones and all.
00:24:41
Speaker
Hey. Speaking of... um I don't know. i don't know what happened. I do own this on DVD. Why? Just regular DVD?
00:24:52
Speaker
It's on 4K. Okay. it's It's clear. Okay. But it's not clear enough for me to see what went wrong. But like we said, it's a fine movie.
00:25:03
Speaker
It's not hurting anybody. Oh, you know would have been a really good nomination for movies as a surprise in a good way. How do I think about it? Huh? Roofman. Oh, stupid, stupid, stupid.
00:25:17
Speaker
Maybe next year. Maybe next year. it can pull a Billie Eilish and get nominated. Maybe it will. Three years later. And maybe it won't. 2026 is on the horizon.
00:25:30
Speaker
We have more movies to watch, more scenes to rate, and more hogs to love. Thank you for attending your first Framies.

00:26:30
Speaker
Whatever that number is, you will tell the audience what that movie on your letterbox list is, why it's in that spot, and a quick little sentence about how feel about the movie.
00:26:41
Speaker
An addendum. Can we exclude the top three just so we don't reveal that before our person i have excluded the top 10 oh look at that I put the numbers on the wheel are 11 through 65 because 65 is the most gotcha anyone's have on our lists so the top 10 are not included so we will not spoil our top 10 perfect who wants to go first I'm scared you should be I'm scared I'll do it I'll do it you'll do it yeah I'll do it all right I'm spinning the wheel now
00:27:16
Speaker
Tachi is the first to go in our annual Wheel of Truth. For me, my top number is 37. Okay. Talk to us, Tachi, about movie 37 on your list.
00:27:30
Speaker
Okay. Movie 37. Oh, how could I describe you? You are so bad. and I don't ever want to watch you again. And I don't andt even want to think about you again.
00:27:44
Speaker
But I will because you're a Minecraft movie. Damn. and You won't leave my brain. We've talked about Minecraft a lot tonight. We have.
00:27:55
Speaker
Minecraft kind of sweep the frame. he Sure did. All right, Alex. Okay. Are you ready? Yeah. All right.
00:28:06
Speaker
Tell us about pick number 17. seventeen
00:28:14
Speaker
is arguably the most divisive movie of the year at Eddington. Oh, o wow. Yeah. Okay. Why is it at 17? Is that a is that pretty middle of the pack for you?
00:28:27
Speaker
ah No, I mean, it's so I had 54 and there's a line that I called the materialist line. Default. Where it's like really mid.
00:28:40
Speaker
Anything below the materialist line is like not a good movie. Okay. Anything above it is I enjoyed it. And I enjoyed it to varying degrees of enjoying it. Uh-huh. So for Eddington to be at 17, it's actually pretty high up.
00:28:55
Speaker
Not bad. Cool. I love it. All right, my turn. I'm gonna talk to you guys about movie, ooh, what is this gonna be?
00:29:07
Speaker
62. Fun. All right, movie 62. Out of 65 movies that I have ranked for my 2025 list, this is pretty low. What did I rate this movie? I rated this a two and a half.
00:29:20
Speaker
It is a independent horror movie Which sounds like it's going towards my alley, but unfortunately, i think in idea, this sounded like a really good movie.
00:29:34
Speaker
In actual practice, did not really work for me at all. And that movie is Good Boy. The horror movie told from the perspective of a dog. That dog won an award, by the way. That dog did win an award.
00:29:47
Speaker
I think it was like some type of like breakout role at some award show. think it was. Yeah, and there were like real people nominated for this. It's like Air Bud, but real life.
00:29:58
Speaker
I mean, he's he he seems like a good dog, okay? I'm a surprised that they did that, but I think it's really cool. I think the idea of the movie is cool. um I think maybe it would have worked better. i don't know if it was a short film, but maybe it works better if this was like...
00:30:13
Speaker
25 30 minutes but an hour and a half it felt it was a lot that's number 62 for me dao there's no there's no bark out award all right guys exactly thank you guys all right touch you actually got number 59 but we're going to just spin again spin me So we can see.
00:30:39
Speaker
All right. All right. We're cooking with fire here. Okay. Talk to us about movie 29. 29. Can you guys hear the little music that plays?
00:30:52
Speaker
Not really. Okay, cool. Oh yeah, movie 29. This might come as a surprise because I only have 37 movies, but 29 is the smashing machine for me. Wow, that's kind of low. It's pretty low.
00:31:05
Speaker
I think it's a well documented that I think this movie was... Just a little, little bland. It was lacking flavor, some pizzazz, if you will.
00:31:18
Speaker
Some sauce. I know Alex will. Alex loves sauce. I love sauce. Big sauce guy. Yeah, no. sauce Unfortunately, i just didn't like it more. All right. Alex, talk to us about movie number 50.
00:31:33
Speaker
50 was The Monkey. Oh, come on. Out of how many movies? 54. Okay. um Get those numbers up. I won't ever.
00:31:47
Speaker
What's wrong with The Monkey? i So I have The Monkey at number 34. is insane. The monkey did not do enough to be a movie about a talking monkey that claps its hands and everybody dies. he's not a talking monkey. It's a demon toy. It chunky doesn't. talk It didn't go far enough. It was not stupid enough. It was like.
00:32:09
Speaker
Teetering on the edge, but wouldn't fully commit to just being like absolute like grindhouse slop. Yes. Which would have made it a 10 out of 10. And it pissed me off. and It was really boring at parts. And a movie called The Monkey about a demon killer toy should never be boring.
00:32:25
Speaker
So Osgood Perkins actually had another movie that came out last year. i haven't seen it yet. Keeper. This dude's just churning out stuff. Sounds like he can keep it.
00:32:44
Speaker
um You're fine about your opinion with the monkey. Whatever. it's i'm not I don't care anymore. I'm not going to defend. the I can't defend the monkey. like I can't defend it.
00:32:55
Speaker
It's middle of the pack for me. I had a good time with it. But I can't defend it i won't um Instead The monkey's that kid you knew at school Where you're like guys he's okay like he's Come on and eat lunch with us And he's like you know like spilling yogurt everywhere And it's like i guys he means well like You kind of regret inviting him Sometimes he has he has a funny joke Yeah
00:33:23
Speaker
Alright I'm going to talk to you guys about Number 38 list Number 38 for me is the naked gun. I feel like it was going to be funny. Yeah.
00:33:34
Speaker
Good time. Good time. I know that guy.
00:33:39
Speaker
That could be one of the best line reads of 2025. It might be. All right. Last round. Sure. Last round. All right. Tachi, tell us about movie number 18. 18. Ooh.
00:33:53
Speaker
oo Okay. This one's relatively newer. Um, this one feels like pretty good. Could have been, I think really great.
00:34:05
Speaker
I think a lot of the pieces were there. um And some pretty good performances that got some ah some awards buzz. And that's Frankenstein. All right.
00:34:16
Speaker
That was number 18 for you? Number 18. so Number 19 for me. Which is crazy. My number 19 was The Naked Gun. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Tachi, yours is 18. Yeah.
00:34:28
Speaker
Alex, you were at 19? Uh-huh. You're not going believe this. 17 or 20? Frankenstein is 17 for me. That's nuts. Look at us. I'm pretty aligned. I like that.
00:34:41
Speaker
All right, Alex, talk to us about movie 36. Predator Badlands. Ooh. All right. Predator Badlands. It's actually right next to another Elle Fanning movie, which is nuts.
00:34:55
Speaker
Which one is that? Sentimental Value. That's crazy.
00:35:01
Speaker
Those words would get you crucified among some people online. Call me St. Peter. Turn the cross upside down. I'm ready.
00:35:12
Speaker
um i I meant that in the most reverent way. ah Yeah, I had a good time with Predator Badlands. i think that it was fine. It was fun. i had a good time.
00:35:29
Speaker
I enjoyed it. And for you, the listener, if you're new here, we have an entire episode on Predator Badlands. We have an entire episode on pretty much everything that I got picked on for.
00:35:41
Speaker
I like that. Yeah. So go listen. um All right. Last pick for me. I'm going to talk to you guys about movie 29.
00:35:52
Speaker
ah Friendship. Directed by Andrew DeYoung, starring Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd. This is a ah like a longer, weirder episode of I Think You Should Leave.
00:36:05
Speaker
And it's got some hilarious deleted scenes of Tim Robinson and Connor O'Malley in a garage that they've been vocal stims for Cam and I for the last seven, eight months.
00:36:19
Speaker
And I have not stopped. So, and Friendship, honestly, you guys have you guys seen it? Not yet. Okay. The scene, the frog tripping scene, tripping on drugs, top 20 scene of the year for me at least.
00:36:36
Speaker
We never should have pulled out of Afghanistan. Recommend it if you haven't seen it. um Thank you guys so much for playing Wheel of Truth. We'll be back.
00:36:47
Speaker
All right, we're back. Any... yeah Any movie placements that you guys wanted to call out before we dipped into the the top 10? Anything you wanted to highlight? Anything that was like, oh, this was this was a fun one. You should go check it out. or um i don't know if I want to... Do we want to talk about maybe like our bottom movies or do that after the top?
00:37:12
Speaker
I mean... It's just, if we did the bottom movies, we'd be talking about War of the Worlds, Easter Wall, Minecraft, The Monkey, and Presence again. i mean, okay, so I guess for like, so I took today to like readjust like my 2025 ranked.
00:37:28
Speaker
It started getting really like hard of like where things are going to go like at 25, I feel. So yeah, nothing to shout out there, but we can just talk about like our top tenancy where that conversation takes us.
00:37:42
Speaker
I'll start. My 10th favorite movie of 2025 was directed by Carson Lund, and it is called Ephus. ah The synopsis is, if you're not familiar, as an imminent construction project looms over their beloved small-town baseball field, a pair of New England rec league teams face off for the last time.
00:38:00
Speaker
Tensions flare up, and ceremonial laughs are shared as an era of camaraderie and escapism fades into an uncertain future. This was a pretty like small, like independent movie, I think. um I don't remember exactly where I'd heard it, but it's... I you heard from me.
00:38:17
Speaker
From you? Yeah. Okay. I heard it. E-E-P-H-U-S. um Did you watch it, Alex? Yeah, I did. Okay, what did you think of it? I liked it. It's... Do you know what an EFIS is?
00:38:30
Speaker
ah They explained it in the movie. Is it an actual baseball term? Yeah, it's like an actual baseball pitch. It's this weird, like... half pitch where it almost looks like you're throwing like a curve ball, but you release it at the top instead of going through the follow through and it just kind of floats. Uh huh.
00:38:47
Speaker
And it, it's super slow and it just kind of catches everybody off guard. And if you watch, so like it is thrown in baseball every so often.
00:38:58
Speaker
It's very rare. But if you look up like MLB Ephus, you you'll see it. But I'm surprised you like this movie so much. I feel like it's so like baseball centric and you hate sports.
00:39:09
Speaker
I don't hate sports. I think this movie, I think I like it so much because while it is quote unquote baseball centric, I think the overall theme of the movie works, whether you know baseball jargon or not.
00:39:20
Speaker
um it kind of just feels like a group of older gentlemen that have this unlikely group of friends and this is the one thing that they do to like get away from the mundane kind of just come together and do something that they all love and it's ending and they don't really know like what the future holds and i just think that's there's something really like beautiful about it and sad but also very heartwarming so that was my 10th favorite movie well said like that Who's next?
00:39:52
Speaker
My number 10 is Begonia, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, starring Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Aidan Delbiss, who almost got an award.
00:40:05
Speaker
Almost. ah Really surprised me because I hated poor things really strongly. You did. So I was pretty nervous going into this, but it was a really pleasant surprise.
00:40:19
Speaker
you know Film Twitter would tell you that hating poor things means you're sexist. They would tell you that. And to them I say no.
00:40:30
Speaker
new I liked poor things. I hated kinds of kindness. Didn't see it. So I was still nervous for Bugonia because of kinds of kindness. It came out last year was like ah an anthology by Yorgos.
00:40:44
Speaker
Did not enjoy that. Glad Bugonia's in your top 10. Me too. My number 10 movie, and this is like the 10 spots of mess. It could change tomorrow. Like this, this episode could become antiquated tomorrow, but my number 10, just cause it might not be the best movie, like well-made, you know, best made, best shot, whatever. But I got to talk more about, about a place in the kinky region. Wow.
00:41:14
Speaker
Yeah. It made its way. to tell us we We covered it at a high level. Tell us like what it's about. I'm not going to tell you what it's about, but i want to tell you and I'm going to tell you this.
00:41:26
Speaker
It's a very specific movie. um This is a movie. have Have you ever seen Naroy the Curse? We've talked about it. no We have talked about Naroy the Curse. Naroy the Curse, I think, could be the best found footage movie ever.
00:41:43
Speaker
Okay. Genuinely, i I think it is so good. It came out in 2005, directed by ah Koji Shuraisi.
00:41:54
Speaker
And he directed this movie about a place in the Kinky region, which is a is based on a book that became available in the U.S. last week. And this movie is not even distributed in the U.S. yet. It doesn't have official U.S. distribution. The only way you can watch it is through, like,
00:42:13
Speaker
redacted means um however if you grew up at all during the early to mid 2000s which all of us did um and you were a fan of horror and all things scary which not all of us were
00:42:38
Speaker
You probably ended up on YouTube in a like like looking at like ghost videos, like low-quality ghost videos, like creepy videos, things like that. And there's a very specific field of these videos.
00:42:52
Speaker
They were very weird, like very esoteric. ah Koji Shirashi actually has a horror anthology called Ura Horror, where one of them... I specifically remember, I've seen it like six times in like scary video compilations when I was a kid because it was marketed as real. It was this anthology. It was like banned from TV.
00:43:14
Speaker
um It made its way into those videos. And so there's a very specific feel and vibe that those videos have that's very nostalgic to me and about a place in the kinky region. I think there's a really good job of capturing that feel.
00:43:30
Speaker
I did order the book and it came two days ago and I'm super excited. It's a very much like House of Leaves ah where it's like a, it's not like a narrative. There's no narrative. There's bits and pieces of texts and emails and things that you have to read through and glean the story through just an information dump.
00:43:49
Speaker
And the movie I think does a really good job or imagine, I'm going guess it does a really good job of taking that and translating it into like a narrative watchable movie. I had a very good time with it.
00:44:00
Speaker
And so I'm recommending it to anybody I know who likes horror. I had a really good time with it. I think it's really strong. It's not like I said, it's not the best movie. It just felt very good to watch.
00:44:11
Speaker
um And it it's one of those ones where it's just like I liked it a lot, you know. I'm in and sold. So let's get kinky. I'm down to get kinky in all kinds of redacted ways.
00:44:25
Speaker
ah Alright, my number nine. I won't spend too much time here. I was surprised by myself that I put this, that this made it in my top ten after we fought and fussed about this together all year long.
00:44:40
Speaker
But I recently had a change of heart. Sinners is in my is my number nine spot. Just for the record, i still think you MKUltred yourself into putting it in your top ten. I have to have very honest conversations with myself purely based off of My feeling watching the movie that for the third or fourth time and the enjoyment I got once the credits rolled.
00:45:03
Speaker
Are there issues I have with the movie? Yes. Do I think the movie does a little bit too much hand-holding? Yes. I don't think it fully trusts its audience, but once I can see past those flaws, I can have a good time and enjoy myself an Irish jig.
00:45:22
Speaker
Good choice. I rest my case. I'm happy for you. Thank you.
00:45:27
Speaker
My number nine, not really a surprise because I'm a fanboy, but it's Thunderbolts. ah You know, it hits all the beats. It wants to hit. Like Malik said earlier, your Breath of Fresh Air in the MCU catalog. So, yeah, I actually watched it the other day and it still holds up. Still super fun to watch. Yeah, I think it was the first movie I watched this year, actually, because Cam hadn't seen it yet.
00:45:51
Speaker
Nice. Thunderbolts is in my top 20 of the year. Same. Wow, nice. My number nine, begonia. Yeah. Nice.
00:46:02
Speaker
We already talked about it. Yep. All right. Good choice. My number eight, if I had legs, I'd kick you. Oh. Tachi, I really want to take this time. So you just told us you double featured this with this movie and a Minecraft movie. Which one did you watch first? Minecraft.
00:46:19
Speaker
Okay, Minecraft movie. And then if I had legs that kick you, I'll just say real quick. Rose Byrne puts on an excellent performance in this. Unbelievable. Like so good. Like I didn't know she had this in her to the point where i felt annoyed and like frustrated with the movie.
00:46:40
Speaker
And then all in the same breath, realize it'd be like, this is literally how like she feels. And it's like, I just felt like I was like latching onto her and it was exhausting. I honestly don't know if I would watch this movie again. Like as I was making my top 10, I was like,
00:46:54
Speaker
specifically when I was like debating like where Sinners could potentially go if it wasn't my top 10, it's like enjoyability, obviously, and then rewatchability also kind of goes into it. That being said, I don't think I'd watch if I had legs that kick you again.
00:47:07
Speaker
can't. i i can't But she puts on, it's such a weighted performance. Like the entire movie is on her. The camera is very close. It's very claustrophobic like the entire time.
00:47:18
Speaker
And she really carries it and drives it and it really works. 100%. Alright, what's your number eight, Tachi? My number eight is Wake Up Dead Man. We just talked about the ah the phone call scene when my my soul ascended to the heavens.
00:47:33
Speaker
It wasn't really Josh O'Connor's breakout, but... I am going to treat it as such. He was great in challengers, but I feel like he really leveled up here. I feel like this was his breakout as a leading man. Yeah, I was about to say I agree. Unless you saw La Camara, which not a lot of people did.
00:47:51
Speaker
I think, yeah, I think he's setting the framework To be really big in the next few years. That'd be great. He'll be way more of a household name. I think he's quote unquote a little bit more niche of a household name, but I think it'll be a bit more wide in the next few years. I foresee.
00:48:09
Speaker
My number eight. Give me no other choice. Park Chan Woo. Nice. I had a great time with it. Yeah. It's not my absolute favorite by him. That probably will always be old boy.
00:48:24
Speaker
Because Oldboy just rips so hard. Oldboy's insane. um I feel like this one didn't have like the how on earth or is this going to end that like old boy had or the handmaiden had.
00:48:41
Speaker
But ah it's such a good time. And there's some great performances and there's some great scenes and it's worth the watch. And I'm so happy I got to see it in theaters and the Academy should feel ridiculous that it got zero nominations.
00:48:57
Speaker
Great performances. There are multiple shots in this where i'm like, wow. Like, new ways of putting a camera.
00:49:07
Speaker
New, like new like, dissolves and like fades into like the next scene and blending them together. like There's some cool shit that goes on in this movie.
00:49:19
Speaker
Yep. I like it. My number seven is one we've already all talked about, so we won't have to spend too much time on it. Bugonia. Nice. Bugonia made it in all of our top tens.
00:49:32
Speaker
ah Jesse Plamond should have been nominated. Yep. Yep. All right. Tachi, what's your seven? My seven is 28 years later. Way too low. Our boy Alfie.
00:49:45
Speaker
Get out. Way too low. What are we doing here? It's not way too low. That's so low. It's low, i think, for your standards, both of your standards. But um I think it's appropriately placed.
00:50:00
Speaker
Fair. It's your list. Hey, top seven is great. Hey, top seven is good. My number seven, The Secret Agent. Ooh. I haven't seen it yet.
00:50:11
Speaker
Same. it's ah It's confusing. It's long-durbed. It goes all over the place, but it is sun-soaked with a great Brazilian, you know, Samba soundtrack.
00:50:25
Speaker
And Wagner Moore's performance is one that I'm terrified will be lost to time because it had strong competitors against it. It's fantastic. Oh, that's a very nice review.
00:50:37
Speaker
Also, he's got a great voice. i listening to him talk for two and a half hours is a treat. With as much like attention that The Secret Agent has been getting in this award season, I actually know like nothing about it. Same.
00:50:50
Speaker
I'm completely blind. Keep it that way. I will. I think it but i think it came out on digital today, from' not Whatever you think it's about, it's not. Cool. I'm in. Let's keep things international.
00:51:01
Speaker
My number six, it was just an accident. We talked about it in our frameies, but that final scene, that final 30 minutes... I think we talked about it briefly in our episode last week too with our nominations, but if you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and go watch it.
00:51:21
Speaker
It made the top six. My number six. We're going to kind of keep it international. going to go warfare. International in a way. International in a way.
00:51:32
Speaker
Yeah. um Yeah. I know I've said it a thousand times, but the, uh, the sound design in that movie was incredible. and I, uh, I just love having awesome, memorable theater experiences.
00:51:46
Speaker
Yeah. Because that's, you know, what movies are all about. That's what the whole thing is about. If they do a Warfare re-release in theaters, I will go. You should. Number six. My number six.
00:51:59
Speaker
Call me the parrot because my number six is it was just an accident. Wow. Wow. We're the same. Yeah. We look the same too.
00:52:11
Speaker
say
00:52:17
Speaker
Wait, actually nevermind. Go ahead.
00:52:22
Speaker
Um, I thought it a fantastic movie. I really want to get into Jafar Panahi's filmography now. I do too. I know a lot of it's on Criterion. I'm really excited to dive into it. Yeah. ah This movie stars a lot of people that you've never seen before and you'll never see again probably.
00:52:40
Speaker
And it's worth your time. Well worth your time. It's great. And my... ah Now you... I forgot to talk to you about this Malik because I think I told you that you should read my review of it after.
00:52:55
Speaker
um That's right. And ah I'll tell it for the audience. This is so like. Probably cringe in hindsight, but my review of it is is one battle after another.
00:53:09
Speaker
it But I wrote it in Persian by I wrote it in Persian. I mean, I threw it in Google Translate. But it feels like a very spiritually similar movie to one battle after another.
00:53:21
Speaker
I'd say so. And I was I had just finished reading Vineland and I'm going in and watching this movie. And, yeah know, I'm not trying to be like one of those people where it's like, oh, my God, this is just like Thanos.
00:53:34
Speaker
But you have to remember that, you know, for all of, you know, the things that we think could happen here in the home front, those have happened in other places across the world.
00:53:51
Speaker
And it was just an accident, I think, as a very emotional movie, especially considering Jafar Panahi's history with the regime that, you know,
00:54:05
Speaker
like, you know, people, I think paint Iran is this like whole other place. Oh, like, you know, it's so different and opposite from us, but it's this, you know the end of the day, like they have very similar struggles and very similar, like in very similar ways, but maybe with some, some different things attached to it.
00:54:26
Speaker
And so i think they're spiritually very similar movies. Um, um, yeah know They kind of tell very similar stories and both are very applicable to people of all different backgrounds.
00:54:41
Speaker
And you should go watch it. Well said. My number five came as a surprise to me. I think this movie came as a surprise to me after the credits rolled, but I was double surprised just like at the longevity of it staying this long in the top 10.
00:55:01
Speaker
But my number five is Roof Man. Wow. I really enjoyed this movie. That's really high. I had a great, it is high. It's top five. I had a great time.
00:55:12
Speaker
um It had a great score. Great performances from Kirsten Duns and Channing Tatum. Had me on the edge of my seat. Yeah, it's not quite a way to expect.
00:55:23
Speaker
Made me choke up. Yeah. Yeah, not at all. Like that trailer is, I mean, it's a true story, but the trailer is definitely something else than what you end up getting. And I think what you end up getting um is overall a pretty special movie.
00:55:36
Speaker
That's my number five. Congratulations, man. Mine is ah probably a long consensus for most people, but my number five is Sinners. I've yet to rewatch it.
00:55:47
Speaker
I really want to rewatch it, and I will. um But for now, this list, I'm sure, will change with time, but it's top five in the initial ranking.
00:56:00
Speaker
I guess I should rewatch it. One day I will. My number five is Warfare. Should have been nominated for Best Sound Design. Should have been. Stay hatin'.
00:56:12
Speaker
My number four. I don't know if this is... it there It's possible this could be recency bias, okay? I saw this movie yesterday. It's no other choice. We already talked it.
00:56:25
Speaker
Like I said, he does some stuff with the camera that like I'd never seen before. You know, we keep saying that there's no other choice, and we rank things in front of it still.
00:56:36
Speaker
True. So, like, who are we... Sounds like there was another choice. There were other choices. Liars. um Yeah, not much else to say. I'll just echo whatever Alex said about three minutes ago. So go back and listen to that and then plug it in here.
00:56:52
Speaker
No other choice is my number four. My number four is Train Dreams. Let's go. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful movie. It's all picked. My number four, this is this is where things get really weird.
00:57:08
Speaker
This is where things get really weird because I have no idea how to rank any of these. It's hard. x for But four specifically is the most impossible movie I've ever had to rank. ah It was at one.
00:57:20
Speaker
Now it's at four because i don't know where to put it. I don't know how I feel, but I just know it's important. and Everybody should go watch it. And it is the voice of Henry job.
00:57:32
Speaker
who Uh, is it my number one movie of the year? Probably not. Is it incredibly well-made yet is, uh, is it well-acted? Yes, it is. Um, we forgot to put Saja Killani on our best breakout list. She absolutely cleans that movie up.
00:57:52
Speaker
Um, And, you know, but it's just like, I don't, I don't know if I can put it ahead of the next three, but it's like, ah it's just, it's such a different movie than the rest of them.
00:58:08
Speaker
and It reminds me a lot of ranking zone of interest. Yeah. But zone of interest had a ah huge artistic piece to it where a zone of interest felt like this, almost like a novel, like a very surrealist novel.
00:58:24
Speaker
Whereas Voice of Inner Job is just bleak. And you hate yourself after it. So it's up there. Is it four? I don't know.
00:58:36
Speaker
But is it one? I don't know. But it's probably the most important of the next for three. So I don't know. I wait with bated breath to watch.
00:58:48
Speaker
Same. All right. Here's our top three. Here we go.
00:58:56
Speaker
This whole list was so stressful. But I do think it's an ever-changing thing. It is. My number three is a beautiful movie as well.
00:59:08
Speaker
It's Train Dreams. Nice. it It got me. It rocks. Twitter hates it. What? I think Twitter's miserable. It is. I think Train Dreams does a really good job at
00:59:27
Speaker
capturing the male experience Not so much in like everyone's day to day life, because obviously it's set back in the day, but just like lot of the feelings that come with being guy.
00:59:40
Speaker
Yeah. It's a very feeling heavy movie. And by the time all of that has kind of culminated and in the last 45 seconds, I just I like broke down.
00:59:54
Speaker
Like just seeing him on the plane and like a montage will get me. I don't care if it's cheap. If it's done well, it will get me. yeah And it got me. And I think it was earned.
01:00:06
Speaker
William H. Macy gives a great supporting performance in this as well. I wish he got some more love during the swim board season, but I thought he was excellent. And that's ah that's my number three.
01:00:19
Speaker
Good choice. Thank you. It's going little crazy now. yeah Because my number three, maybe not your number threes or twos. Uh-oh.
01:00:33
Speaker
It's one battle after another. Okay, I thought you were going to go like something like out of left field. Okay. My number three is Companion. Oh, that was a big one.
01:00:47
Speaker
Yeah, they're just two movies that just made me feel a little bit more. So we'll get to those. I I'm trying to guess what they are.
01:01:01
Speaker
I know what one is. o I'm kind of lost right now. I'm sure you can guess one of the top two. I'm sure. but I'm still kind of lost. haven't seen no other toys. Haven't seen. It was just an accident.
01:01:14
Speaker
Okay. I'm stuck on the other one in the meantime. Yeah. What's your number three? My number three. 28 years later. Too low. Shut up.
01:01:28
Speaker
Pump those numbers up. 28 years later great. It It's so good. It's so good. want to rewatch it so bad. Oh, yeah. But it just ends with you wanting more.
01:01:40
Speaker
We got more. That is its biggest fault. We got it now. we We do have it now. And I'd love to watch them back to back. Yeah.
01:01:51
Speaker
Same. But yeah, it just. But even then, the Bone Temple just it doesn't have that Danny Boyle flair. It doesn't have the flair. You know, I love Danny Boyle. and You know, I'm a big Danny Boyle. I know.
01:02:08
Speaker
We have a whole episode on 28 Years Later and the Bone Temple goes into them. 28 Years Later is not in my top 10, by the way. Here's my number two.
01:02:20
Speaker
No surprise. One battle after another. Expected. Expected. No one's surprised. Great movie. Not much else to say. My number two. Okay.
01:02:32
Speaker
is the one that you two would not have guessed and that is chainsaw man wow chainsaw man the movie wait what is your number one oh you come on malik that's crazy yeah chainsaw man um i loved it it's it's awesome great writing great animation great story.
01:02:57
Speaker
i don't know. It's awesome. I really hope that I can convince you guys to watch the first season and then the movie. I want to watch it. I mean, the movie looked like it ripped. It does. I just haven't gotten around to watching Chainsaw Man loved seeing the trailer in theaters. It was so cool. I was like, I want to watch this. what would she go ah One of the girls just like, boom. and then with like the explosion, i was like, this looks so sick. It is sick. I gotta of watch it. I almost stood up and clapped. Yeah, from a trailer.
01:03:26
Speaker
Please let me know when you guys watch it. Yeah, it's it's awesome. And it's my number two. I think this being my number two is crazy considering the episode that we did on it and what I said.
01:03:37
Speaker
But it is one battle after another. Let's go. It just I mean, again, it actually could be three. Because the whole high and for job thing.
01:03:48
Speaker
But um one battle, I got over it and when I rewatched it and I'm like, this is sick. This is this a great movie. There you go. And i got over my issues. And i still think that the movie would benefit from what I said. But I no longer hold it against it. That's beautiful.
01:04:08
Speaker
It rips. And if you hate it, I hate you.
01:04:12
Speaker
All right. Well, it's time for my number one movie of 2025. And I think everyone is waiting in anticipation. You literally said what it was last episode. I don't think anyone knows what my favorite movie of 2025 is. But I'll tell you, listener. I'll tell you right now. Listen closely.
01:04:33
Speaker
Malik's favorite movie of 2025
01:04:41
Speaker
28 years later. we know. Are you guys shocked? Are you surprised? No. You said it last episode. we Which we didn't film that long ago. it was like three days ago. You said it at the start of the episode too. I think I did.
01:05:03
Speaker
That's where I'm at. Tachi, what's your number one? Um... I guess it's a little controversial now, but my number one is Marty Supreme.
01:05:15
Speaker
Wow. Yeah. I didn't get that you liked it that much. Really? Yeah. I'm surprised. Yeah. No, it was really good.
01:05:31
Speaker
My number one so far Or yeah for now. Yeah, would be better. My number one is also Marty Supreme. What? I'm also surprised.
01:05:42
Speaker
It just, and and here's the reason why I think it's number one over one battle. It's close. I mean, literally my top four are close. it They could all go either way if i wake up tomorrow and think differently.
01:05:53
Speaker
But Marty, I think, has just a little bit of aura. that the others don't for sure heinrich job excluded that's not an aura movie there's something about marty supreme and the character of marty mauser where you're watching and i'm like i'm getting amped yeah i get that he's the bad guy that's the point i get that you don't want him to win but i wanted to win and i'm watching and the whole time i'm like this is sick And you know, One Battle's got great characters and it feels like a novel, but it just doesn't have that raw edge that I think Marty Supreme had where it's like, dude. Exactly.
01:06:35
Speaker
I need Marty energy in my life. No one left One Battle thinking I gotta act like Steven Lockjaw. Someone had to have.
01:06:47
Speaker
Statistically speaking. And not that I'm so i'm not saying don't go act like Marty Mazur because he was a bad person. But he's got that swagger in his step.
01:06:58
Speaker
He's got that dog in him. And I think if yeah anyone watches that movie and doesn't get like a little bit hyped up to go tackle all the day, it's like it's I mean, it's ah another safety movie. It's like the scene in Uncut Gems. I know we talked about it where he's like, like,
01:07:15
Speaker
let's Let's bet on this. yeah He's like, KG, let's take a look at the book. And then it's like, you think that they don't, they think they know ball. You think it doesn a great you're only going to get 15 points in game seven.
01:07:28
Speaker
He's like, that's stupid. Like you're getting amped up. You want to place the bet. I want to go play some ping pong. Wow. just It's a sick movie. Wow. For sure.
01:07:39
Speaker
I've never felt so distant from you guys. You're about to feel really distant when you move. Do you want to know where Marty Supreme is sitting in my top list of 2025 right now?
01:07:51
Speaker
Sure. I'm going to say 14. Okay. okay I'll say 25. Alex wins. He's closer. Wow. That 23.
01:08:02
Speaker
ah You hate Timothy Chowme. I don't. the You hate winners. the top twenty five are like The top 25 are like my favorite absolute favorite movies of last You're not that far from the monkey. 25 for 25. What do you mean?
01:08:15
Speaker
To put it in comparison, my number 23 is caught stealing. Number 20 is caught stealing for me. That's nuts. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. That's nuts.
01:08:26
Speaker
You have caught stealing over Marty Supreme? Hmm... What? Things could change. Things should change. I think that's nuts. i I had a great time with caught stealing. yeah what's fun I mean, come on.
01:08:42
Speaker
Darren Aronofsky is making an AI miniseries. That's true. revolution He should probably get knocked off like 30 points. Although I guess Josh Safdie is. yeah There you go. so know you Get him off there. Let's see what you guys are doing.
01:08:56
Speaker
Costiling is my 26th. I did focus most of my energy on the top 10 when it came to like 11 through 30. It, yeah it was It was kind of hard to rank them.
01:09:10
Speaker
i don't know if you guys feel similar when you're when you're doing your lists. that's That's a surprise. I'm glad it could surprise you. You guys also surprised me. Yeah, it was fun. Yeah.
01:09:20
Speaker
I think we already know what our bottom movies are. yeah where' we Yeah. Yeah, my bottom five, starting from the top, a very Jonas Christmas movie.
01:09:33
Speaker
Okay. little bit better than I thought it would be. um karate kid legends the housemaid den of thieves to pantera never even saw the original and then a minecraft movie we had uh for me starting at five the monkey then black bag then minecraft then east of wall then war of the worlds Wow.
01:10:00
Speaker
For me, starting at five, we Ballad of a Small Player, Good Boy, War of the Worlds, Jurassic World Rebirth, and then a Minecraft movie. Very diverse bottom. Yeah.
01:10:15
Speaker
We be hatin'. We do be hatin'. um I still can't believe I watched the horse movie. And it's in your bottom five. It is in my bottom five? Yeah, I will not be watching. I'm sorry.
01:10:28
Speaker
I think you got to. If it's on the plane, you have to watch it. That seems like a bad plane movie. Should we hate watch Jurassic World? No. Okay.
01:10:40
Speaker
Like, it's not even... It's just a waste of time. That's that's Academy Award nominated Jurassic World. so um Yeah, I think this list for all of us, it sounds like there can be changes.
01:10:54
Speaker
I think we just had to talk about something. we just had to get We just had to get a top 10. But I mean, I still have... Where's my list? I have like a list of 20, 25 movies I wanted to watch. There's still 19 on this list. Granted...
01:11:09
Speaker
I don't think any of these minus maybe a couple of them would crack the top 10. Yeah. the rest of them kind of seem like they'd be middle and ground. It's it's cloud that could crack the top 10 for me. And then the secret agent and the mastermind.
01:11:26
Speaker
you got Opus. I left Wolfman on here. Where woman in the yard. Where did the final reckoning land for you guys?
01:11:36
Speaker
That's a great question. I've got Final Reckoning at number 25. Mine's at 12. This just seems a little high. I was saying mine's 15. That seems way higher than it should be. I think so too. So we all have stuff wrong with our list. I feel like that's a good spot for me to have it, but Marty Supreme Undercut Stealing does feel kind of weird.
01:11:57
Speaker
Maybe I'll switch them. I just Mission Impossible. The final reckoning is not like a top 15 movie, but the theater experience alone, like I will rewatch it. I'll be like, what was I thinking? But seeing it in the theaters was unmatched. It was electric.
01:12:12
Speaker
How do you love to say? The summer reading scene. So good. Dead quiet. Like seven minutes. Roofman's at 21 for me. I'm sorry. Wow. No, that's okay. Hey, I got Marty Supreme at 23. That's so Elio was really high for me. I don't know what happened, but it's at 20.
01:12:35
Speaker
It's above Roofman, Eddington, Avatar, Mickey 17, house stealing. Wow. yeah Alex, just so you're aware, I've got Sorry Baby at 12. L.
01:12:47
Speaker
And I've got Warfare at 16. I would say, what was your line, Alex, where you said Companion, once when you get to Companion, everything else is kind of... It's the materialist materialist line. the Companion is above the materialist line. Okay. What number is materialist? 42. Okay.
01:13:04
Speaker
I would say my line really starts at 52, and that's Wolfman. Everything below Wolfman is like, I really did enjoy this.
01:13:17
Speaker
Mine is probably between 30 and 31. 30 being Fantastic Four. That's the line. God, that could have been the mid-movie. The next one is Captain America.
01:13:29
Speaker
Yeah. That's a steep drop-off. Yeah, Captain America is at 56 for me, so it's below the Wolfman line. I never even bothered. You shouldn't. I walked out of ah Thunderbolts was like, I should watch it, and I sobered up. I'm not watching. break and juice Yeah, just leave ah Thunderbolts as like your one good MCU treat for last year.
01:13:56
Speaker
but I mean, Fantastic Four was just... First act was great. Yeah. Yeah. fell apart It's safe. that it Fantastic Four and Superman are both like middle ground for me in the list.
01:14:12
Speaker
I forgot you hated Hope. For Superman? For Roy and Superman. Superman's 14 for me.
01:14:21
Speaker
It's whatever. Maybe 17's above Superman for me. That is just okay. and i You know what? We need to wrap this before I get mad. I stand by that one. Well, that was our first award show, and that is our current top 10 of 2025.
01:14:39
Speaker
I look forward to more in 2026. We do have one award left to give actually. What? Yeah. Award to our number one fan base.
01:14:50
Speaker
